Learning to photograph our children.

I want one…

May 26, 2008 By: Jessica Category: Cool Stuff 2 Comments →

In my perusing of blogs photographic, I found this cool site. First off, I love her name - My Funky Camera. I think it’s a great name with lots of personality. She makes lens cozies and camera straps out of bright, colorful fabric. I love them!!! I’m putting a lens cozy and a new camera strap on my wish list.

In case you didn’t know this about me… I LOVE handmade items. I am also attracted to bright shiny objects. Now bright, shiny, handmade objects are even better. It’s a match made in heaven!

I am in the market for a new lens - a 50mm. I need a lens that is more suited to portraits instead of product photography. When I get my new lens, I’m going to *need* a lens cozy for my old lens. It may be a necessity…

Quick Tips for Photographing Kids

1.) Focus on their eyes.
2.) Get down on their level.
3.) Be aware of the background.
4.) Get close. Real close.
5.) Make it a game and be flexible with the shots you have in mind.
6.) Take as many photos as you can. The more the better.
